Weatherby Vanguard Obsidian | .300 Win Mag | 24″ TB

The Weatherby Vanguard Obsidian is a bolt-action sporting rifle chambered in .300 Winchester Magnum built around a weather-resistant Monte Carlo synthetic stock and a threaded 24″ barrel. It features a match-grade two-stage trigger, a 3-round capacity with a hinged floorplate, and a 3-position safety for reliable operation in the field. For optics, consider a Vortex Viper PST Gen II 5-25×50 or a similar precision hunting scope priced under $1,000 to match the rifle’s long-range potential and threaded muzzle.

Suitable applications include long-range hunting and precision target shooting where a powerful cartridge and a stable platform are priorities.

This Vanguard Obsidian pairs a modern synthetic stock with Weatherby’s established Vanguard action to deliver a consistent, stable shooting platform for longer-range work. The threaded 24″ barrel and match-grade trigger give the rifle the components needed for accurate, repeatable shots from prone or bench positions, while the synthetic Monte Carlo stock offers weather resistance and a comfortable cheek weld. Its 3-round hinged floorplate magazine simplifies loading and unloading in the field without adding the complexity of a detachable box magazine.

Owners and reviewers commonly praise the Vanguard Obsidian for its accurate performance and comfortable handling; many note the rifle’s consistent sub-MOA potential and the durability of the synthetic stock.
